Want my rig with cabs under 40lbs. Which ones?

Sign in to disble this ad
Here`s the story.

I`m seriously considering a TC RH450 as my main head.

I`d like to match it with a RS210 + RS112 but since I live outside the US and USPS (cheapest mail service) has a weight limit of 44lbs, I gotta find cabs under 40lbs (leave some weight for packaging).

I`m looking for a good sounding rig, not too large, with definition and plenty of lows (not earth shaking lows)
Ideally, I wanted something like a Epi UL310, Bergantino AE410, TC RS210, but all of them rate above 40lbs.

Any suggestions that would pair well with the RH450?

My Orange SP212 is pretty close to the 40 lbs., and it puts out great lows.

cabs

i use two of these
http://www.aguilaramp.com/products_cabinets_gs112nt.htm

39lbs without the tweeter. 42 with the tweeter.

head is mesa basis-2000.

also, the 12's put out a very nice low tone. I play 5 string and these handle the low b better than my Ampeg 4/10 cab did. And i can carry one in each hand...very convenient.

My Jack 112 is right about 39lbs with a 3012Ho. It'd be a little lighter with a 2512II in it.

Buy a couple of 3012HO's and the jack plans. Pay somebody local to build the cabinet to spec, if you don't want to do it yourself.

Anything with neodynum magnets should do it
